Ultra Light Fasteners - Advanced Materials

These fasteners are lighter and stronger than a magnesium alloy equivalent. They are not to be used in a critical structural application, but they can be used for accessories, i.e. power steering reservoirs, gauges, windshield wiper motors, radiator supports, fuse boxes, etc. These are extremely light weight an used in numbers can significantly reduce weight. Fasteners are constructed from poly reinforced composites. The tensile strength of these fasteners have a tensile strength of 285 MPa compared to magnesium alloys at 280 MPa.
